[G] [Em] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up [F] to be cowboys.
[F] [G] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks.
Make them be doctors and [Gm] lawyers and such.
[C] Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to [F] be cowboys.
Cause [G] they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with [C] someone they love.
A cowboy ain't easy to love and [F] he's harder to hold.
[G] And it means more to him to give you his song than silver [C] or gold.
Budweiser buckles and soft-faded Levi's and [F] each night begins a new day.
If you [G] can't understand him and he don't die young, he'll probably just ride [C] away.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow [F] up to be cowboys.
[G] Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks.
Make them be doctors and lawyers and [C] such.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up [F] to be cowboys.
[G] Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with [C] someone they love.
A cowboy loves smoky old pool rooms and clear [F] mountain mornings.
[G] Little warm puppies and children and [C] girls of the night.
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that [F] do sometime won't know how to take him.
He's not [G] wrong, he's just different and his [G] pride won't let him do things to make you [C] think he's right.
